Mental health measures during wildfires: the case of Ofunato.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Climate change is increasing the threat of wildfires, causing severe physical, economic, and psychological impacts. This study analyzed the mental health effects of the February 2025 wildfire in Ofunato City, using government reports, media coverage, and disaster-related mental health studies. Stress, PTSD, social isolation, and economic hard-ship were identified as key issues, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. Economic instability from unemployment and delayed recovery may worsen these mental health outcomes. Effective interventions include immediate psychological support, long-term counseling, and rebuilding social connections. Collaboration among local governments, medical institutions, and support groups is essential to provide comprehensive mental health care, enhance community resilience, and support residents affected by wildfires' recovery.
